01
Step 1
Start by warming some grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Toss in the pita bread pieces and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown—this usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Once they're crispy, transfer the pita to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 2
In a big bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, feta cheese, fresh mint, and parsley.

Step 3
Next, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Greek seasoning, sumac, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until everything is well blended. Pour this dressing over the salad along with the toasted pita pieces. Give everything a good toss so all the flavors come together nicely. Enjoy!
